Will Head Republican State Speakers liureau David Hopkins of St. Joseph, Missouri's youngest congressman, has been given one of the republican party's big campaign Jobs. He has been appointed by Everett Sanders, chairman of the Republican National Committee, as assistant head of the speaker's bureau.Though this young politican has a campaign of his own on the fire, he is spending most of his time In Chicago, helping to select the speakers who will tell thirty-three states west of the Allegheny Mountains why President Hoover should be reelected. Choosing the campaign orators and the places where they are to speak is a task so absorbing that Congressmen Hop- kjns Is leaving much of his own campaigning to his friends. As president of the Young Republican Association of his slate, and a popular ex-service man, he has a lot of plnch- nuters who are eager to eo to bat I for him. In the recent primary the young congressman ranked fourth in a field of twenty-nine candidates. Out-sde of St. Louis county, he topped the entire group. But he is accustomed to setting records. In 1930 when the old fourth district went Democratic with 10.000 votes to spare, the voters made an exception of Hopkins and continued him on his congressional career. In the House of Representatives he was appointed assistant republican whip by Republican Floor Leader Ber-trand H. Snell, a signal honor for so young a newcomer. Hokins alighted himself with the middle western bloc. In his present Job with the speaker's bureau, this legislator is living up to the reputation for hard work which he established in college and continued In Congress. To get the education which culminated in a master's degree granted by the University of Missouri, Hopkins fired boilers worked in railroad yards and harvest fields and became assistant night cook at the University hospital. To get the record of accomplishments of President Hoover's strenuous three years as chief executive over to the people, he is dictating letters, conferring with shakers and working sixteen hours a day in the headquarters of the Republican National Committee. Notice The annual meeting of the Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Jefferson and Franklin Counties, Missouri, will be held at House Springs, Mio.. on Saturday. September 10th. 1932. beginning at 10 o'clock a. m. All members are requested to attend. J. F. WILLIAMS, President. G. H. BRUNS, Secretary. KILLED IN MOTOR CYCLE ACCIDENT, SUN.

Henry Nirklas Jr.. a musician of Belleville, suffered fractures of both legs and both arms, Internal injuries and severe lacerations lost night when a motorcycle he was riding collided head-on with an automobile on Rome 13, a mile north of Fteeburg, 111. His son, Henry, 9 years old, who was riding on a tandem seat behind his lather, suffered a broken right leg and lacerations. They were taken to St. Elizabeths Hospital. Belleville. The driver of the automobile, Millard Wilderman, who lives on a farm near Freebiirg. was treated for cuts and bruises. The accident occurred when Wilderman, driving north, attempted to turn into a side road to his home and was unable to avoid hitting the southbound motorcycle.

Come and dance on the brand new floor to the music of the Young Bros. Harmony Five. Save Your Eyes By Dr. Walter F. Kimball, Missouri State Board of Optometry Hiking in the Fatherland Long before the war Germany was a land for hikers, and some of America's earliest tourists, such as Bayard Taylor walked through it. In 1911 seventeen hostels for hikers called Jugend-herbergen were opened and 3000 young men and women stayed over night In them. Last year there were 2,100 hostels and four million night's accommodations were registered. Altho many hotels have been built for the purpose, a great many are transformed medieval castles, hotels, villas and even ships. Each inn is in charge of a warden and the charge is trifling. Alcohol and tobacco are not permitted. EXTENDING SIGHT The science of seeing is most important in the field of art. The greatest age of painting that the world has known was that in Italy just about the time of the discovery of America, but the secret of Its greatness is that the artists of that time learned to see and to paint distances. They learned and developed the laws of perspective. In other words, they learned to see first of all. And again, a great deal of the science of today, and a great deal of the safety and comfort of modern people, depends on our ability to see the infinitely small as well as the infinitely large. We should still be thinking that malaria was caused by vicious evil spirits If we had not been able to extend our vision with the aid of the microscope so that we can actually see something of the real cause. When we can see the causes of disease, we can know and take the proper precautions. Most of the modern medical knowledge depends upon this ability to see the infinitely small causes of our ills, the germs and the microbes that get into our blood and make all the trouble. The X-Ray too is another extension of our powers of seeing, and therefore ot knowing what is going on. Did You Know? - - All real amber, which is a mineralized resin from a certain extinct tree, is at least 600.000 years old. One-third of the world's population suffers from malaria, which causes 2,000,000 deaths every year. American children spent more than $50,000,000 for penny candles last year.

Don't fall to come to this dance and have a good time. Duck Dams Help Fish and Other Sports Over U. S. This dam idea is sweeping the country. Everybody everywhere seems to be building dams of some sort to serve all sorts of purposes, according to information reaching the American Game Association here. The United States Bureau of Biological Survey launched a campaign recently to build dams to provide nesting feeding and resting grounds for wildfowl. The American Game Association, the Izaak Walton League and other organizations enlisted as active cooperators, and their field staffs throughout the country started campaigning for dams to serve for wildfowl, shore birds, fish, swimming, skating, boating and numerous other purposes. Now comes Mr. and Mrs. O. K. America into the picture, building dams across brooks, creeks, rivers and what nots, and even building dams where there isn't any streams. Ranchers in the West build dams across dry coulees and draws and catch the rainwater for stock. Henry O'Neil and J. R. Giddlng, owning ad-Joining ranches near Pierre, South Dakota, solved their stock problem in this way, and now have a big lake 24 feet deep. Hundreds of ducks are nesting around it. North Dakota as a state has launched a damming campaign, and wildfowl are nesting by thousands along the artificially created ponds pothqles, lakes and widened streams. Fish arte coming into their own. too; for sooner or later the dammers, ! revipwinfr t.hplr hanriiunrlr hpirtn In ! talk of fish and fishing, and then stock those waters that need it. Word comes from New Hampshire that a great many people are building dams and private ponds and stocking them with fish and charging fees to fish by the day or the pound. Dams, it seems saved the trout fishing in Spruce Creek in Pennsylvania this year. Extremely low water has obtained since 1930. A series of low dams, however, kept deep pools plentifully supplied with water and saved the fish. Scattered reports from all over the country show that this dam idea is becoming increasingly popular and profitable to wild life as well as the public. If Bolivia and Paraguay really get into war we defy the League of Nations or anybody else to find out who is the real aggressor. Hair Splitting Both Republican and Democratic speakers arc trying to mal:- nut that there Is a substantial dlflc: nee between the prohibition platforms of the two parties Governor Rooscvel: trieel to do so In his New Jersey spccui yesterday. As a matter of fact, the b!ti:i of responsible Republicans and Denr.-crats are the same; they differ only In regard to the methods that Uiey advocate. . , .... -k.. ... Millions of Democrats and Repii'b-" llcan.s wont a change from the eight eenth amendment. But no one of any Influence would argue for return of the old saloon If pinned down, what they would advocate would be something like the Canadian control of the liquor traffic, a system under which brews ami light wines are sold in restaurants aiU spirits In government dispensaries. The Demi. era ts would turn control over to the Uales, realizing that it " doubtful if any slate would reestablish the saloon, and would authorize the federal government to prevent the shipment of liquor from wet to dry states. But whereas the Democratic platform merely urges thr.t the states prevent return of the saloon, President Hoover advocates federal guarantees against the saloon In addition to federal prevention of liquor shipments into dry states. That sums up the difference between the two parties In regard to the issue. For the Democrats to charge the Republicans with being dryer than themselves or for the Republican to charge the Democrats with being wetter than themselves is nonsense. There is no substantial difference between them unless the states cannot be depended upon to prevent return of the saloon. Because some of the extreme drys fear that such dependence cannot be placed upon the states, the Republican plank Is the wiser because it would b3 easy for the drys to marshal the thirteen states required to kill an outright repeal amendment. Mr. Hoover is offering the antiprohibitlonists something that they have a chance of git-ting.As for the Demorcatlc plan for modification of thee Volstead act, pending repeal of the eighteenth amendment, to legalize beer and, presumably, Jight wines, it is in line with their general prohibition platform and would give the wet states a chance to set up their control systems before being faced with the problem of handling distilled beverages.If the Republicans win the election, there Is every likelihood that they wiu submit an amendment to return control of the liquor traffic to the states, except that the federal government will be empowered to prevent any state from relegalizing the saloon. Doubtless the Democratic plan would result in a system of liquor control far more satisfactory than the present system. But the Journal-Post believes that the Hoover plan is the better because it would be easier to get adopted. Kansas City Journal Post, August 28, 1932. School Board Buys Evergreens The Union School Board purchased a large shipment of evergreen shrubs last Friday from W. R. Bedker ol Poplar Bluff, Mo. The shrubs have been set out around the high schcol and certainly beautify the school building. j The shipment consisted of t 'er 63 trees and cost the board $95 00, set out. Mr. Becker landscaped the grounds and set out all the evergreens. With the addition of these trees, we believe that the Union High School is one of the prettiest in this part of the country, and the building and the grounds are very attractive.

The state highway department has so far emphasized Its policy of avoiding grade railway crossings that it has constructed 600 overhead or underpass crossings where the highways cross the railroads. It is perhaps no exaggeration to say that hundreds of lives have thus been saved, to say nothing of destruction of property prevented. Statesmaashlp doesn't consist in continual fault-finding with the contentions of first one side and then another in any public controversy it consists rather In supporting some general constructive policy which appeals to the natural trend of thought of the one who seeks publicity of expression, or aspires to leadership ,and which in a general way conforms to established principles.

Will Head Republican State Speakers liureau David Hopkins of St. Joseph, Missouri's youngest congressman, has been given one of the republican party's big campaign Jobs. He has been appointed by Everett Sanders, chairman of the Republican National Committee, as assistant head of the speaker's bureau.Though this young politican has a campaign of his own on the fire, he is spending most of his time In Chicago, helping to select the speakers who will tell thirty-three states west of the Allegheny Mountains why President Hoover should be reelected. Choosing the campaign orators and the places where they are to speak is a task so absorbing that Congressmen Hop- kjns Is leaving much of his own campaigning to his friends. As president of the Young Republican Association of his slate, and a popular ex-service man, he has a lot of plnch- nuters who are eager to eo to bat I for him. In the recent primary the young congressman ranked fourth in a field of twenty-nine candidates. Out-sde of St. Louis county, he topped the entire group. But he is accustomed to setting records. In 1930 when the old fourth district went Democratic with 10.000 votes to spare, the voters made an exception of Hopkins and continued him on his congressional career. In the House of Representatives he was appointed assistant republican whip by Republican Floor Leader Ber-trand H. Snell, a signal honor for so young a newcomer. Hokins alighted himself with the middle western bloc. In his present Job with the speaker's bureau, this legislator is living up to the reputation for hard work which he established in college and continued In Congress. To get the education which culminated in a master's degree granted by the University of Missouri, Hopkins fired boilers worked in railroad yards and harvest fields and became assistant night cook at the University hospital. To get the record of accomplishments of President Hoover's strenuous three years as chief executive over to the people, he is dictating letters, conferring with shakers and working sixteen hours a day in the headquarters of the Republican National Committee.

Kimball, Missouri State Board of Optometry Hiking in the Fatherland Long before the war Germany was a land for hikers, and some of America's earliest tourists, such as Bayard Taylor walked through it. In 1911 seventeen hostels for hikers called Jugend-herbergen were opened and 3000 young men and women stayed over night In them. Last year there were 2,100 hostels and four million night's accommodations were registered. Altho many hotels have been built for the purpose, a great many are transformed medieval castles, hotels, villas and even ships. Each inn is in charge of a warden and the charge is trifling. Alcohol and tobacco are not permitted. EXTENDING SIGHT The science of seeing is most important in the field of art. The greatest age of painting that the world has known was that in Italy just about the time of the discovery of America, but the secret of Its greatness is that the artists of that time learned to see and to paint distances. They learned and developed the laws of perspective. In other words, they learned to see first of all. And again, a great deal of the science of today, and a great deal of the safety and comfort of modern people, depends on our ability to see the infinitely small as well as the infinitely large. We should still be thinking that malaria was caused by vicious evil spirits If we had not been able to extend our vision with the aid of the microscope so that we can actually see something of the real cause. When we can see the causes of disease, we can know and take the proper precautions. Most of the modern medical knowledge depends upon this ability to see the infinitely small causes of our ills, the germs and the microbes that get into our blood and make all the trouble. The X-Ray too is another extension of our powers of seeing, and therefore ot knowing what is going on. Did You Know? - - All real amber, which is a mineralized resin from a certain extinct tree, is at least 600.000 years old. One-third of the world's population suffers from malaria, which causes 2,000,000 deaths every year. American children spent more than $50,000,000 for penny candles last year.

Everybody everywhere seems to be building dams of some sort to serve all sorts of purposes, according to information reaching the American Game Association here. The United States Bureau of Biological Survey launched a campaign recently to build dams to provide nesting feeding and resting grounds for wildfowl. The American Game Association, the Izaak Walton League and other organizations enlisted as active cooperators, and their field staffs throughout the country started campaigning for dams to serve for wildfowl, shore birds, fish, swimming, skating, boating and numerous other purposes. Now comes Mr. and Mrs. O. K. America into the picture, building dams across brooks, creeks, rivers and what nots, and even building dams where there isn't any streams. Ranchers in the West build dams across dry coulees and draws and catch the rainwater for stock. Henry O'Neil and J. R. Giddlng, owning ad-Joining ranches near Pierre, South Dakota, solved their stock problem in this way, and now have a big lake 24 feet deep. Hundreds of ducks are nesting around it. North Dakota as a state has launched a damming campaign, and wildfowl are nesting by thousands along the artificially created ponds pothqles, lakes and widened streams. Fish arte coming into their own. too; for sooner or later the dammers, ! revipwinfr t.hplr hanriiunrlr hpirtn In ! talk of fish and fishing, and then stock those waters that need it. Word comes from New Hampshire that a great many people are building dams and private ponds and stocking them with fish and charging fees to fish by the day or the pound. Dams, it seems saved the trout fishing in Spruce Creek in Pennsylvania this year. Extremely low water has obtained since 1930. A series of low dams, however, kept deep pools plentifully supplied with water and saved the fish. Scattered reports from all over the country show that this dam idea is becoming increasingly popular and profitable to wild life as well as the public. If Bolivia and Paraguay really get into war we defy the League of Nations or anybody else to find out who is the real aggressor. Hair Splitting Both Republican and Democratic speakers arc trying to mal:- nut that there Is a substantial dlflc: nee between the prohibition platforms of the two parties Governor Rooscvel: trieel to do so In his New Jersey spccui yesterday. As a matter of fact, the b!ti:i of responsible Republicans and Denr.-crats are the same; they differ only In regard to the methods that Uiey advocate. . , .... -k.. ... Millions of Democrats and Repii'b-" llcan.s wont a change from the eight eenth amendment. But no one of any Influence would argue for return of the old saloon If pinned down, what they would advocate would be something like the Canadian control of the liquor traffic, a system under which brews ami light wines are sold in restaurants aiU spirits In government dispensaries. The Demi. era ts would turn control over to the Uales, realizing that it " doubtful if any slate would reestablish the saloon, and would authorize the federal government to prevent the shipment of liquor from wet to dry states. But whereas the Democratic platform merely urges thr.t the states prevent return of the saloon, President Hoover advocates federal guarantees against the saloon In addition to federal prevention of liquor shipments into dry states. That sums up the difference between the two parties In regard to the issue. For the Democrats to charge the Republicans with being dryer than themselves or for the Republican to charge the Democrats with being wetter than themselves is nonsense. There is no substantial difference between them unless the states cannot be depended upon to prevent return of the saloon. Because some of the extreme drys fear that such dependence cannot be placed upon the states, the Republican plank Is the wiser because it would b3 easy for the drys to marshal the thirteen states required to kill an outright repeal amendment. Mr. Hoover is offering the antiprohibitlonists something that they have a chance of git-ting.As for the Demorcatlc plan for modification of thee Volstead act, pending repeal of the eighteenth amendment, to legalize beer and, presumably, Jight wines, it is in line with their general prohibition platform and would give the wet states a chance to set up their control systems before being faced with the problem of handling distilled beverages.If the Republicans win the election, there Is every likelihood that they wiu submit an amendment to return control of the liquor traffic to the states, except that the federal government will be empowered to prevent any state from relegalizing the saloon. Doubtless the Democratic plan would result in a system of liquor control far more satisfactory than the present system. But the Journal-Post believes that the Hoover plan is the better because it would be easier to get adopted. Kansas City Journal Post, August 28, 1932. School Board Buys Evergreens The Union School Board purchased a large shipment of evergreen shrubs last Friday from W. R. Bedker ol Poplar Bluff, Mo. The shrubs have been set out around the high schcol and certainly beautify the school building. j The shipment consisted of t 'er 63 trees and cost the board $95 00, set out. Mr. Becker landscaped the grounds and set out all the evergreens. With the addition of these trees, we believe that the Union High School is one of the prettiest in this part of the country, and the building and the grounds are very attractive.
